Women who consumed 2 or more diet drinks per day were 30% more likely to die from all causes over the next 8.7 years compared to women who consumed few to none, 0-3 diet drinks per month, according to a recent study.

“This analysis demonstrates an association between high diet drink intake [two or more diet drinks per day] and [cardiovascular] outcomes and mortality in post-menopausal women in the [Women’s Health Initiative Observational Study],” the authors of the study concluded.
